What does it mean?

[Led Opeth]

....because no one was there to stop them?

 

[Jude]

Jude I think he was joking

I don't think so. But I could be wrong. :shrug:

So nobody answered the 20 million dollars Borat question : License to kill Indians in 2006 : Myth or reality ?

And if this license doesn't exist anymore, what brought people to think that they had the right to do it in the first place ?

Thank You.

OK so he probably was. Whatever.

Why will Americans get used to Spanish? I thought China was the next superpower?

Massive influx of Spanish-speaking immigrants+they tend to have lots of kids=rapidly increasing Hispanic population=Spanish is becoming much more prevalent in the US and will continue to do so.

Much to my displeasure...

And it is so much worse in Southern Cali, because thats where they all go! The neighbors across the street... man, they have like 20 people living in the same house... but they're cool neighbors.... unlike that dickhead next door....

I have no idea what that means, I don't speak Swedish. And I wasn't referring to "you"

Much to my displeasure...

I have no problem with it. Things change. This isn't one I'm real upset about. Although I'd rather it was some cool language like German that was taking over instead of Spanish...Spanish is boring and too easy IMO :\

 

[billyneverdies]

where the hell are you from that you don't know these words?

as a wise man once said: "there is failure inside...this thread"

edit: whoever said that the global advent of english usage was "american fascism" should be shot.

 

[Braighs]

Why NAvajo isn't the official language in this country ?

To keep the Japs in check.
edit - the Navajo have a really cool radio station if you're ever in that area check it out imo

 

[N-MAYH]

Qa'PlAAAAAA

 

[Mr. Bland]

Qa'PlAAAAAA

gHuh Daq Hegh Dah!

I think we've established English is his second language. And he's from Sweden.

edit: whoever said that the global advent of english usage was "american fascism" should be shot.

I think we've established that he was joking.

 

[Reflections_of_the_Underdark]

I have no idea what that means, I don't speak Swedish. And I wasn't referring to "you"

it means - Hi, i am also Swedish.

 

[intimidatingcrustaceans]

English is the way America spread its evil cultural supremacy upon inferior sentient beings.

Um yeah, cuz we all know America invented English...

 

[Id]

didn't invent it but certainly perfected that bitch

 

[Nichtsicher]

didn't invent it but certainly perfected that bitch

I wouldn't say perfected it. More dumbed it down? Haha

 

[daz436]

Many (yet not all) Americanisms of the English language (eg. the spelling of the word Colour) are down to early Settlers (American 'forefathers') being poor spellers of the English language.
Not that I'm gonna start falling into this American English vs England English trap cos we all know how much more awesome that makes a dying thread.

I think it's funny that he had trouble with words like 'awe' and 'jackal' but not something like 'paragon.'

 

[Soilworker]

what about the cough on the moor?

Obviously a metaphor for some kind of post-modern existential ideal.
